S oguIn Tournament.

Yesterday morning the Mission Hose
company's team left for the 5eguln fire
mems tournament to take part In a COM
petltlYe dill there with silver trumpet
for prize. The contest came of snd
the boys were defeated by the team
from the Reliance company of Seguin.
The trial was a run OF 800 yards to a
hydrsnt, attach $50 feet OF hose and
throw water
Reliance company performed the feat
In one minute and 30 seconds. The
Mission hose company, which we're the
favorites, lost by one OF the reel men,
G. II. Muenoh, slipping and falling. In
stead OF rising and running after the
hose to pull it of the reel, he stopped to
pick up his cap. But for this accident,
San Antonio would have been the win
ner In the drill, rs they made the run to
the hydrsnt In just II seconds less time
than the Seguin company.
The bows say they were mGgniticently
entertained by the Seguin liremen and
do not regret their luokless visit, but de-
clare the next drill between them and
Seguin must and Will result differently.

How To BE a NoBODY.-It is easy
to he nobody, and these are the ways
to do it: Go to the drinking saloon
to spend your leisure time. You
need not drink much now, just a little
beer or some other drink. In the
meantime play dominoes, checkers,
or something else to kill time, SO that
you will be sure not to read any use
ful books. If you read anything, let
it be the dime novel of the day. Thus
60 on keeping your stomach full and
your head empty, and yourself play
ing time-killing games, and in few
years you will be frst-class nobody,
unless you should turn out a drunk
ard or a professional gambler, either
of which is worse than nobody. There
are any number Of young men hang
ing about saloons just ready to grad
uate and be nobodies.

Thanks giving.

Thanksgiving is our great national
festival Of all holidays the most loved
by Americans as the great home gather
ing of the year. You need not look for
much happiness in a family where this
day is not kept and honored Like the
fourth of July it is essentially an Amer
lean holiday, in that it is not shared by
any other nation.
There is not much variety in Thanks
giving bills of fare. 1t is the turkey
and cranberry sauce, the chicken pie,
savory and delicate, and the spicy mince
and pumpkin pies that will be dear to
memory, and associated with the dav as
long as the custom of celebrating it shall
last. So long as there is an abundance
of these time-honored dishes, well-cooked
guests and hostess will be content. Still
such minor points as the soups and side
dishes, or the manner Of cooking the
turkey, are susceptible of variety.
The turkey, which some like baked, -
and some like boiled is as essentially
an American institution as is the holiday
itself. It is one of the things which we
do not owe to our ''mOther country.
| recently overheard a conversation at
our hotel table between an Australian
Englishman and an American. The for
mer was greatly surprised to hear that
baked or roasted turkey was u common
dish in the United States, and was com
pletely paralYZed, when told that Benia
min Franklin wanted it for the national
emblem instead Of the eagle, because of
it's nativity.
For the highest gastronomic effect, it
should be a young hen turkey, killed
after fast of twenty-four hours; if the
weather is cold it must also be allowed
to hang four or five days. If just before
the sacrifice you give the victim a spoon
full of the best vinegar, it will die
gamer, that is, the meat will be whittier
sweeter, and more tender.
To half a pound of the sweetest bread
crumbs, add an equal quantity of mashed
potatoes, a quarter of a pound of the
best butter, sweet majoram, summer saw
DRY, salt, pepper, and a little grated
nutmeg by way of seasoning; a cupful
Of chopped mushrooms, few boiled
chesnutS mashed to "a paste, and the
grated rind Of lemon. Basic frequent
IY with butter and water, and allow at
least two and a half hours for a turkey
weighing ten pounds. When done it
should be of an even and rich brown
color.

ON THE WHEEL.
What 'Round-t World Stevens and
Champion Howell Say of the Sport

The popularity of cycling il growing.
Thomas Stevens. who has just been
around the globe on wheel says that the
best roads in the world are found in Brit
ish India. The Grand Trunk road is
900 miles, an unbroken highway of mar
velous perfection, from Pershawar on the
! Afghan frontier to Calcutta. 1t is made
of smooth, hard, natural concrete, beds
of which lie along the line.
| How such roads would be appreciated
! by the enthusiastic 'cyclers of this coun-
! try.
The wonderful achievement of Mr..
Stevens, in the face of myriad dangers,
entities him to all his honors.
The fast riding champion of the world,
however, is Richard Howell, of Leicester,
England. He is a splendidly made fell
! low, between % and 80 years of age, six
feet high, and weighing, in training, about
100 pounds.
He commenced riding in 1879 and in
1881, at Belgravia grounds, Leicester, he
won the one-mile championship of the
world, beating all the best men of the
day
From that time his career has been one
of almost unbroken successes. He came
to the United States in 1884 and 1885, and
at the great Springfield tournament in
1885, won seven out of eight races.
In the Cycling News eng October
LIST, 1887, is the following interview with
him.
What are your best performances"
This year | did a full mile on the
track at Coventry in minutes, 35 sec
onds. Good judges think, with every
thing in my favor, l could do 2.30 for the
distance"
what is YOUR system of training?"
Il eat plain good food, and plenty of
it. l take a little walk before breakfast,
and then, after that meal, if l am loggy,
ride eight or nine miles on the track
here, in thick fannels. After dinner l do
some more 'slogging' work, and may be
walk and early to bed.
But there is one idea of mine which |
have found invaluable. If [ have done
too much work, or my system is out of
order, or if l don't feel quite sound,
take what l have used since 1 was queer
in 1888. l have always found that War
ner's safe cure sets me up and puts me to
rights again, and it is a remedy which [
believe in and tell all my friends about.
In the winter-time especially, when you
can easily understand l am not so careful
of my health as in the spring summer or
autumn, l have found it invaluable.
All l want, to beat the fastest bicvcIist
in the world, is plenty of practice, an oc-
casional dose of my favorite, and my ma
chine.
When l am about right in weight | con-
tent myself with short, sharp bursts as
hard as ever l can go on the track, and
when l can cover 40 yards in thirty sec
onds with flying start, reckon to be
moving as well as I want to-"
Bicycling is glorious sport, but it has
its physical i'll effects which, however,
can be easily overcome by the method
used by Champion Howell.
